Why. we have known about these Mexicans coming across the Rio Grande for 50 years. we have known about Chinamen coming across there. we have known about Japs coming across there. we have known for many years about foreigners from every country in the world coming across the Rio Grande. I have been trying to get Chairman DICKSTEIN to stop it. I have been trying my best to get the gentleman from New York to report out these needed bills ever since he has been chairman of this committee. but without avail. it has been futile. I repeat. it is absolutely foolish for him to talk about wasting money on any more investigations. Let us get busy and do something to stop these immigrants. I say to my friend from New York. Money appropriated for another investigation would be nothing in the world but another wasteful. fruitless junket.
